Yeah, thought I remembered something from DD too (maybe? - even if there were no battlefields there), which is why I shrugged it off, though it's annoying.

Well, there's no problem with anything else on the flash drive. Even formatted it and copied everything back, obviously in a different order now (with chkdsk taking files in reverse order according to folder creation date), and it still froze at the BD saves, and as I said tried to leave different saves, not all of them, and it still did the same after the first one.
As for compressing, as I said, there are scripts, one that's all automated (set to run daily from task scheduler) for the HDD backup, gathering stuff from all the various places and separating them in 2 folders, one for what would also go on stick and one for the rest, and a second that I just run manually when I put in the stick, updating the stick contents to match what's in the first folder made by the first script. That'd probably be too much of a bother to change and archive them separately, and most probably I'd just forget even if I'd mean to; do this stick thing about once per month if I don't have a reason to suspect problems, so...
Maybe some weird attributes, or leftovers from that DRM that's mentioned in the Dev Diary that they had to crack to be able to patch the game? It's weird...
